Taking it Easy

This weekend I overworked myself, pushing past my prego limits (because I hate admitting that I can’t do as much as I was before), then realized that the itch in my throat was not from having to stand up and teach a class after not doing so for over two months, but from nasty bacteria that I probably got from teaching dirty, dirty teenagers (most of them are not actually dirty, but they all seem to be sick this winter!).  So I wrote some sub plans for a few days and took it easy. I did some knitting and T.v. watching, which I haven’t done in a while. I also played around with a few card ideas I have been thinking about recently. I can’t remember which blog I got the ideas from, so if you know feel free to put a mention in the comments.

I used some cards I already had printed for another use, so the text isn’t great. I like the flowers, but I think I would change the text to make it larger and more centered on the card. The butterflies I’m not sure what I could do. I played around a bunch before I glued them down. Maybe if I reversed the gradient it would look better, but I’m not sure. I would also change the font size on that one as well. Maybe there are too many butterflies.

And I know it has been a bit warmer in these parts (still below freezing some mornings), but my cat still thinks it isn’t tolerable yet. She continues to find warm places to sleep.
